Este libro es una tradición puertorriqueña

Mi madre tiene una copia de este libro con el autografo de la autora (primera edición). Con él fue que aprendí a cocinar. Cuando me case, fue el primer libro que compré para mi nuevo hogar. El libro ofrece las recetas basicas tradicionales, que uno con el tiempo aprende a modificar a su gusto. El libro es un clasico de la cultura puertorriqueña, debe estar en toda biblioteca boricua.
